T<span>he nurse should instruct the client to rotate injection sites within the same anatomic region. Rotating sites among different regions may cause excessive day-to-day variations in the blood glucose level; also, insulin absorption differs from one region to the next. Insulin should be injected only into healthy tissue lacking large blood vessels, nerves, or scar tissue or other deviations. Injecting insulin into areas of hypertrophy may delay absorption. The client shouldn't inject insulin into areas of lipodystrophy (such as hypertrophy or atrophy). To prevent lipodystrophy, the client should rotate injection sites systematically and use one anatomical region for a week. Exercise speeds drug absorption, so the client shouldn't inject insulin into sites above muscles that will be exercised heavily.</span>

What is the best way to get the right amount of vitamins needed from proper growth and development
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Food sources of vitamins include plants and animals. Vitamins are only found in living things; however, there is not one food source that can provide all the vitamins needed for growth and development of a healthy body. A variety of foods, therefore, must be eaten. For example, potatoes are a good source of Vitamin C, but they are not a good source of Vitamin D. Restricting a diet to foods that are limited in their vitamin content or variety can lead to deficiencies. Because vitamins are essential to the body's utilization of energy, deficiencies can cause a wide range of health problems, ranging from brittle fingernails to heart failure. The seriousness of the effects is due mostly to the length of time that a person has had a deficiency. Cells can function for a period of time without the needed vitamins. Cases of life-threatening deficiencies are rare in nations such as the United States because of the abundance of food sources available to people of all economic levels.

analyze the relationship between regular physical activity, health promotion, and disease prevention.
sashaice [31]

Regular physical activity means that people will stay in shape as the body is working hard to keep you fit. This links to health promotion as your immune system gets stronger and you are able to prevent things as your blood cells are stronger. Disease prevention can be also a factor as the white blood cells are stronger which mean that there will be a less likely chance of catching a disease
